Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of steam cooking apparatus.
  • the steam cookers comprise one or more cooking vessels arranged on a steam production base.
  • the containers have a perforated bottom allowing the steam to rise by passing around the food arranged on the perforated bottom.
  • the steam production base may or may not have a means for autonomous heating of the water.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a steam production base for a steam cooker, intended for the use of aromatics, wherein the cleaning related to the use of aromatics is simplified.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a steam production base for a steam cooker, intended for the use of aromatic liquids.
  • the aromatic support thus makes it possible to receive aromatic liquids. Heating by steam limits the temperatures reached by the container and its contents.
  • the steam production base comprises a heating element associated with the boiling chamber.
  • the heating element has an apex forming a protuberance with respect to the bottom of the boiling chamber.
  • Other embodiments are possible, such as a heating base or a tubular boiler.
  • the bottom of the container is arranged lower than the top of the heating element.
  • this arrangement makes it possible to limit the height of the steam production base.
  • the aromatic support is arranged laterally with respect to the boiling chamber. This arrangement makes it possible to obtain a stream of aromatic vapors parallel to the vapor coming from the boiling chamber.
  • an element made of a good heat conducting material, for example aluminum, arranged in or around the boiling chamber, is thermally connected to another element made in good heat conducting material, belonging to the container.
  • these two elements are formed by a side wall of the container partially defining the periphery of the boiling chamber.
  • the steam production base comprises a water tank supplying the boiling chamber.
  • the amount of water brought to the boil can be reduced, which allows a faster production of steam while maintaining a significant cooking autonomy thanks to the water tank.
  • the aromatic support separates the water tank from the boiling chamber.
  • the flavor carrier can thus replace the wall separating the water tank from the boiling chamber.
  • the aromatic support surrounds the boiling chamber.
  • the aromatic support forms a crown.
  • the container of the aromatic support is annular and surrounds the boiling chamber. This arrangement makes it easier to heat the container.
  • the steam production base comprises an annular upright on which is disposed a recovery tank having a steam passage opening communicating with the boiling chamber.
  • the aromatic support channel the steam from the boiling chamber and the steam from the container to the opening of the recovery tank. This arrangement allows to direct the steam to the cooking vessel by limiting losses.
  • the container of the aromatic support has an annular outer wall that fits into a stack of the recovery tank.
  • the aromatic support is removable.
  • the aromatic support comprises at least one spout. This arrangement facilitates the filling as well as the pouring of the contents of the aromatic support.
  • the aromatic support comprises a gripping member. This arrangement facilitates the handling of the aromatic support, which is heated during cooking.
  • the gripping member has an outer portion extending outside the housing when the flavor carrier is in place in the housing. This arrangement makes it possible to indicate the presence of the aromatic support in the steam production base.
  • the outer portion has a passage arranged above an upper opening of a filling device having a lower opening opening into a receptacle arranged in the housing.
  • a lid mounted on the outer portion is likely to close the passage.
  • FIG. 1 shows a steam production base 1 belonging to a steam cooker.
  • the base 1 comprises in a housing 2 a receptacle 3 designed to contain water.
  • the base 1 comprises an electric heating element 5 associated with a boiling chamber 7.
  • the heating element 5 is mounted on the bottom 4 of the receptacle 3.
  • the boiling chamber 7 is fed by a water tank 6.
  • a passage 8 connects the boiling chamber 7 and the water tank 6.
  • a separating element 10 disposed on the bottom 4 of the receptacle 3 separates the chamber boiling water tank 7.
  • the passage 8 is formed between the bottom of the element 10 and the bottom 4 of the receptacle 3.
  • the separator element 10 is removable and is an aromatic carrier 11 forming a container 12 provided to receive an aromatic liquid or a liquid supplemented with aromatics.
  • the flavor carrier 11 is arranged between the water reservoir 6 and the boiling chamber 7.
  • the flavor carrier 11 surrounds the boiling chamber 7.
  • the flavor carrier 11 has feet 17 resting on the bottom 4 of the receptacle 3. The feet 17 make it possible to form the passage 8 between the water tank 6 and the boiling chamber 7.
  • the receptacle 12 has an annular inner lateral wall 13 made of a good heat-conducting material, for example made of aluminum, connected by a bottom to an annular outer side wall 14.
  • the container 12 is annular and surrounds the boiling chamber 7.
  • the heating element 5 has an apex 40 forming a protuberance with respect to the bottom of the boiling chamber 7.
  • the bottom of the container 12 is arranged lower than the top 40 of the heating element 5.
  • a recovery tank 20 is disposed on an annular upright 9 of the housing 2.
  • the recovery tank 20 is surmounted by a cooking support 30 having a bottom 31 provided with perforations 32.
  • the recovery tank 20 makes it possible to collect the juices from the arranged foodstuffs. on the cooking support 30.
  • the cooking support 30 is closed by a lid 35.
  • One or more vents 36 are formed on the lid 35.
  • the recovery tank 20 comprises a chimney 21 having at least one opening 22 provided for the passage of steam from the boiling chamber 7 formed around the heating element 5, or from the container 12.
  • the opening 22 is lateral and the chimney 21 is closed by a roof 23.
  • the annular outer lateral wall 14 of the receptacle 12 is inserted into the chimney 21 when the collecting tank 20 is placed on the annular upright 9.
  • the collecting tank 20 comprises filling orifices 24.
  • the operation of the present invention is as follows.
  • the user has the separator element 10 around the heating element 5 and fills the reservoir 12 with an aromatic liquid and / or a liquid supplemented with aromatics.
  • the user fills the tank 6 with water and sets up the recovery tank 20 and the cooking support 30.
  • the water tank 6 feeds the boiling chamber 7 through the passage 8.
  • the heating element 5 s' is heated and produces steam which is guided by the inner side wall 13 of the container 12.
  • the flavor carrier 11 channels the steam from the boiling chamber 7 and the steam from the container 12 to the opening 22 of the recovery tank 20
  • the vapor is confined by the stack 21 and the outer side wall 14 of the container 12 and escapes through the side openings 22.
  • the side wall 13 partially delimits the periphery of the boiling chamber 7.
  • the steam heats the outer face of the side wall 13.
  • the outer face of the side wall 13 forms an element 15 transmitting its calories to another element 16 belonging to the container 12, formed by the inner face of the side wall 13
  • the use of steam as a means of transmitting calories makes it possible to limit the temperature at which the container 12 is exposed.
  • the aromatic and / or flavored liquid can thus be vaporized without the risk of charring the residues.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 A second exemplary embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 4. This embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that the flavor carrier 11 'comprises a gripping member 43 and an annular outer side wall 14' having two spouts 41, 42.

  • the gripping member 43 is derived from the lower part of the outer annular side wall 14 '.
  • the gripping member 43 has an outer portion 44 connected by a post 45 to the outer annular side wall 14 '.
  • the outer portion 44 has a passage 46 and an axis housing 47 arranged laterally with respect to the passage 46.
  • a bearing zone 48 is arranged between the upright 45 and the outer side wall 14 '.
